Design Practice: The Impossible - Films Editions

I really like the modern and different editions to the Polaroid cameras. The packaging is something that really caught my eye as I enjoy creating packaging design and it's an area of graphics I want to design for and have an interest in. I really liked the things the project was doing to keep Polaroids current and available and I am considering using this as a focus for my project.

IMPOSSIBLE FILM EDITION

OUR COLLABORATION We are looking for inspired, determined international partners, arbiters of good taste and challengers of the Impossible who are driven to see their personal Impossible Film Edition become reality. We are looking forward to hear your concepts, ideas, visions and dreams. If all adds up we are determined to make any or all of the following possibilities possible:

1. AVAILABLE FILM FORMATS PX 100 Silver Shade - monochrome instant film for Polaroid SX 70 cameras PX 600 Silver Shade - monochrome instant film for Polaroid 600 cameras PZ 600 Silver Shade - monochrome instant film for Polaroid Image & Spectra cameras PX 70 Color Shade - color instant film for Polaroid SX 70 and 600 cameras 2. PACKAGING We manufacture the complete outer packaging of the whole edition individually! This provides lots of space for individual designs and artworks, also it looks and feels breathtakingly good and is a promising beginning when opening up the single packs of your edition. 3. DARKSLIDE In order to create the most beautiful Instant Film ever Impossible turns the traditional darkslide (the black cartoon that the camera ejects upon entering a new film) from a functional necessity into an inspiring detail. Turn the legendary darkslide into collector cards by creating individual prints (white print on the black cartoon) or stickers that will be pasted onto the darkslide (provides more colorful options). 4. FRAME The technical term of printing on the classic, white frame is called printed mask. It allows you to decide about the design of the frame: place your design, logo, images, statements, invitations, news or announcements on the frame and do therewith frame the captured moments in your artwork. 5. IMAGE Last but not least we offer the magic possibility of creating a pre-exposed design within the image itself! Thanks to a special pre-exposure technique your design/ signature / message is integrated into the photo itself and will appear simultaneously with the images development. Quite enchanting! 6. POD STAMP Put your name or your message on the back of the frame with a simple pod stamp. Luck of the draw determines the position and what it will look like on the frame, making each frame basically unique and lending your film an even more analog and personal taste.
